OpenBSD uses an implementation of the Sun audio system, which is a different system to OSS alltogether. I don't know where it came from, it is probably not based upon any of sun's code due to licensing. As for the M-audio Delta, not sure about that particular card, but I have a M-audio mobile pre (usb), which works fine under OpenBSD. I'm not sure if that's an indication that M-audio aim to support UNIX, or just a coinsidence. Try dropping them an email? In all fairness, you would be better off using a nice piece of kit like that on Windows or MacOSX (/me ducks), because the audio editors for NIX are slightly limited in comparison to say Cubase or Pro-tools.
